M45 12+13 Oct - More data added

I finished off, after getting another 20 subs on M31, getting some subs on M45. I stopped because the moon was beginning to interfere with the data. Still she was a lovely sight.

It really needs a lot more subs but I've certainly caught some Neb in there. This was a very rough edit, I'll do it properly when I've got more subs to play with.

The pic looks like a very good start, looks a bit washed out on my monitor though (although I would like to add that it may be my monitor and I at fault!).

I will look forward to seeing this with more subs added

Thanks Neil... I was rather brusque with the edit... lots of harsh adjustments, and no finesse (not that I have a lot of that )... so yeah it may be a bit washed out. I just wanted to see how much Neb I'd got with just over an hour's worth of data.

Should build nicley with more data which will allow for les stretching...Ithink its always worth pushing the first hours data as it gives you an idea of whats to come with more data...

I had a quick play to see what the overall cyan cast was all about and found some very strange horizontal noisy stripeyness in the red channel. What's that all about?

Cheers Peter... The overall Cyan cast is down to dodgy fast processing on my part, as for the stripyness... not a clue

[Psychobilly]

I have had that sort of thing lurking inthe background when you stretch the data as well...

[jgs001]

I'd been wondering if I wasn't suffering from a tired sensor... More subs seems to work well on that too, so I'd also thought it was just noise from a lack of subs... I'll see what happens when I add a bundle of more subs to the stack.

Got 18 more 6 minute subs last night.. and added them in

I don't think I've processed this very well though (I really must stop trying to process these at silly times when sleep is the order of the day)... Anyway... need more subs...
